This course features lecture notes and problem sets.

Course Description

2.26 is a 6-unit Honors-level subject serving as the Mechanical Engineering department's sole course in compressible fluid dynamics. The prerequisites for this course are undergraduate courses in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer.

The goal of this course is to lay out the fundamental concepts and results for the compressible flow of gases. Topics to be covered include: appropriate conservation laws; propagation of disturbances; isentropic flows; normal shock wave relations, oblique shock waves, weak and strong shocks, and shock wave structure; compressible flows in ducts with area changes, friction, or heat addition; heat transfer to high speed flows; unsteady compressible flows, Riemann invariants, and piston and shock tube problems; steady 2D supersonic flow, Prandtl-Meyer function; and self-similar compressible flows. The emphasis will be on physical understanding of the phenomena and basic analytical techniques.

Prerequisites

2.006

Grading

The grade will be based on homework and class participation and a term project as follows:

ACTIVITIES PERCENTAGES
Homework and Class Participation 60%
Term Project 40%

The homework assignments will apply the material covered in lectures and are essential to learning that material. They will involve theory, modeling, and a few design exercises. The term project, comprised of a short oral presentation and a term paper, will be based on a student-selected topic related to some aspect of compressible fluid flow.
